ASCORTI New Dear

ASCORTI New Dear

Italy

This piece is the work of Roberto Ascorti, a hereditary Italian artisan and son of Giuseppe ‘Peppino’ Ascorti, renowned for his contributions at Castello and as a co-founder of Caminetto. The artisan’s unique ‘New Dear’ finish is a play on contrasts, featuring deliberately rough rustication on the bowl—reminiscent of wax streaks—against a smooth shank and a gleaming acrylic mouthpiece. Production of this series is limited, making it a true collector’s item.
